No surprise here. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

An extremist imam used his Friday prayer last week to call on Muslims and Palestinians to disavow non-violent protest against Israel. But the imam was not preaching from the West Bank or Gaza Strip. This imam was yet another spiritual leader espousing radical views from the United States, joining a long list of other U.S.-based Muslim leaders who have promoted anti-Semitism and incited violence against Jews and Israelis.

Mohamed Elbar – an imam at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge (a.k.a. Masjid Musab) – delivered a sermon in Brooklyn April 13 that amounted to violent incitement.

Elbar was not trying to keep this view secret in a private setting of committed individuals. On the contrary, his sermon was live-streamed on the Islamic Society’s official Facebook page, broadcast publicly to its followers and translated by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT). It remained accessible as of this publication.

Elbar reserved harsh criticism for some unidentified imams and preachers who he said issued religious decrees (fatwas) calling for non-violence against Israel. According to the imam, these preachers only advocate direct confrontations if there is symmetry in power.

Too “many imams in our diverse Arab countries” are issuing fatwas that prohibit violent resistance against Israel, he said, “so long as the occupier or the aggressor [Israel] possesses more power than you [Palestinians] possess.”

“They [other imams] tell them [individuals in the Palestinian territories]: ‘You don’t have the kind of weaponry that the Zionist entity has, so it’s not right for you to stand up to the Zionist entity, because if you stand up to them and get killed by the Zionist entity, it’s as if you killed yourself,'” Elbar preached.

After denouncing non-violent protest, Elbar rhetorically asks his congregation: “So what should we do? How are we going to defend our land?”

By offering such passionate criticism, Elbar is encouraging violence and promoting terrorism among Palestinians to coerce concessions from Israel.

He warned that if Palestinians and Muslims “give up” the fight against Israel, then Israelis will destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. He also engages in anti-Semitic historical revisionism by claiming that the Jews will re-build a “Temple of no value and no historical evidence” over the mosque’s ruins.

“It [Al Aqsa Mosque] will get demolished if we abandoned it and an alleged Temple of no value and no historical evidence of its existence would be built to replace it,” Elbar claims.

Propagating such a destructive scenario is a form of violent incitement, especially since previous false allegations of Israeli changes to the religious status quo in Jerusalem have led to outbreaks in Palestinian violence. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas espoused a similar view in the past, which encouraged a wave of Palestinian stabbing attacks and terrorism in Jerusalem and surrounding areas.

Elbar, who is also a professor of Islamic Studies at the Graduate Theological Foundation and teaches “Da’wah related courses” (proselytizing Islam) at the Manara Institute, has a history of making radical statements.

In a Dec. 8 sermon – following President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital –Elbar referred to Jerusalem “as a sole Islamic property,” denying any Jewish or Christian ties to the city. In the final prayer, Elbar prayed for “Allah to liberate Palestine from the occupiers [Jews].”

In 2014, the IPT covered a rally featuring Elbar as a speaker, organized by the Egyptian Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in front of the Saudi consulate in New York City. Protesters demanded that Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi be reinstated as Egypt’s president. Elbar led chants accusing the Saudi king of “selling Egypt to the Jews” while members of the crowd chanted that Saudis were “dirtier than the Jews.”

Elbar’s history of anti-Semitic and radical Islamist preaching resembles extremist sentiment embraced by several other imams in the United States….

Bay Ridge Brooklyn is where Sansour lives , what is her take on the good Imams sermon ?
Is she part of his peaceful congregation , will anyone in the MSM cover what the Imam said ?
Will the mayor bring back police surveillance of Mosques run by terrorist supports ?
Calling for violence ,supporting violence ,siding with terrorist groups ,this is not a radical Imam this is a main stream Imam practicing main stream Islam.

I saw Sarsour last night. She was crawling up the wall with her nasty self (“Sarsour” means “cockroach” in Arabic). I was relieved when she disappeared into the woodwork! Now I’m calling the Bug Man this week! I don’t want to see her again!

I have personally attended the most conservative Christian churches you can find and the stuff that mainstream Imams are preaching blow anything I heard from “fundamentalist” Christian preachers, it is literally mind blowing to me.

I have heard Imam after Imam in the west advocate the following; genocide of the Jews, suicide bombings, beating up wives, killing apostates along with homosexuals, preforming FGM on little girls and even slavery!

People I speak you don’t understand that there is no real comparison between the fanaticism of even mainstream Orthodox Muslims and even the most conservative evangelical Christians.

Fundamentalism simply means imitating the founder of a certain ideology.
A christian trying to imitate Christ will eventually become a better human being. A Muslim trying to imitate Muhammad will eventually become a copy of the “Perfect Man of Islam” (i.e. rapist, murderer, thief, pervert, liar, etc.)

Not allowing any discussion of what constitutes Jihad, and Sharia is the keystone to this blindness. We are forced to accept whatever is told by Islam about Islam, despite the complete picture being available for review in the Qu’ran, hadiths, sunna and history. That is vital to understanding the complexities and the simpliciy of ideas. So the problems say with ‘conservative Christian ideas versus the problems of Jihad ie all of Islam, are nowhere addressed on a fair playing field nor even addressed in terms of Islam. That’s what Jihadwatch
attempts to do- bring the discussion to public view, to intellectual, ethical, and moral view.
This has brought scurrilously charges agains R Spencer and all others who dare to engage afreedom of thought, discussion, intellectual honesty and even the idea of our obligation to engage these as part of our western heritage, our american heritage.

Any Muslim preacher in the U.S. who teaches any kind of murderous treatment shows that he should be removed from his position and if legally possible, deported and the mosque should be closed but of course our government will do nothing because of our religious freedom act…..The law needs to be changed to address what Islam teaches…no other religion teaches the murderous acts as does Islam

TIME FOR CHANGES……No people with guts to do it though. FEAR is the reason Islam is advancing in many areas.

+1
Only Islam as practice in its holy books advocates violence ,rape ,slavery ,and total submission to a hateful unloving god. Fundamental Christians preaches you will go to hell if you do not follow the word of God, Islam preaches that it followers must enslave or kill you in this world if you do not follow the words of their god. Islam makes a two tier system ,for treatment of people ,believers treated one way ,unbelievers treated another. The progressives in this world do not want to knowledge this basic truth ,it upsets their sensibility that all faiths are not equal or good .That some people in this world think slavery, murder, stealing , are virtues in following their faith as written their holy books. The progressives will not look into the source of the violence it would have to admit they are wrong ,and would have to admit that action must be taken.

My approach to the ELBAR kanzeer is——every hate crime against jews in the
city Brooklyn should be ATTRIBUTED to his incitement and he should be held
criminally responsible and prosecuted. His mosque should be held financially
responsible. In a few months he will be gone and the mosque will be converted
into condos for jews and Christians. Time to get creative

1.the “allah” of the islamic ,Commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran is categorically NOT the God of Moses.

It is like David versus Goliath.
David follows the true God of Moses and Goliath follows a god which is “that which isn’t the true God”.

The Real Deal,the actual God of Moses(who is NOT the islamic koranic “allah”)has given full permission for Israel to exist(see Book of Joel 3 etc).

So clearly,the Actual God would have no desire to see Israel “wiped off the map”,especially since He went to the trouble of allowing it to be re-established.

2.If you can see that the islamic allah is NOT the Biblical God {and if you are an observant Jew and are familiar with prophecy} then you will understand that the Real God is on the side of David,not Goliath
and He clearly approves of Israel’s right to exist.

muslims{except those who abandon islam) cannot see or understand this because they lack the wisdom to differentiate between the Actual God of Moses and the anti-Semitic god allah who they THINK is God (but is in fact a gross misrepresentation of God)

It is impossible for them to understand that Israel,the Holy Land,{“MY LAND” in Joel 3,you note}is quite important to God or that He has explained in prophetic terms that the outcome will not be favorable to
any nation foolish enough to want to destroy it.

The Iranians would never understand this because they have their allah(who is NOT the God of Moses) to misguide them.It is not about who has the bigger army!Just consider again..

David vs Goliath
{God of Moses,of Israel} vs {a god “that which is NOT the God of Moses,of Israel}

The Iranians and the enemies of Israel can pray to allah all they want but Israel is very much God’s Project:muslims cannot and most likely,never will,understand that or the folly of waging war on the real God.

Praying to allah to destroy Israel,in the light of what the real God has prophesised for Israel is completely idiotic!

No doubt the deluded enemies of Israel and the Iranians etc would roar with laughter at the idea that Israel could survive….I mean look at David versus the mighty warrior Goliath.How could David win?

David won because he followed the true God…

So in terms of the survival of Israel{and muslims will not understand this),Israel has access to the greatest power of all,the Actual God of Moses(just as David had).

muslims have their allah,who disagrees with the commandments,is violently anti-semitic,and appears not to understand Biblical prophecy{in fact if allah was the same as the God of Moses,moslems would realize the idiocy of declaring war on the God of Israel…but they can’t because they have their “allah” to misguide them}

Why do you act surprised and offended that muslims do not pay heed to Biblical stories and prophesy? Tip: They aren’t Christians.
Why are muslims surprised and offended that Christians, Jews, etc. do not accept the teachings (???) of islam? Hint: They aren’t muslims.
“Nyah, nyah. My god is bigger than your god” is not a very useful argument.
Looks like a standoff.
Get it now?

Do not forget that this human scum does not speak in an empty auditorium … all those who resort to this type of theocratic plots should be deported (this is what the Muslims do in the mosques, conspire and self-talk to implement the sharia and destroy the democracy)

Years ago, I was mocked when I estimated that 15% of Muslims are supporters of terrorism. The 15% are the MusIims who attend the mosque and learn the ESSENTIAL DUTIES of hatred towards the kufaar and JIHAD TERRORISM.

Less than 1% of Muslims are preparing for jihad. We can count on the 15% NOT to tell the authorities if there is a terror plot.

The mosques are where the jihadists are surrounded by sympathizers and where they will find some to hide them, clothe them, feed them and pay for the next terror attack.

In Catalonia (Spain … for now) it is estimated that almost half of Muslims go to Salafist or similar mosques. Half of 500,000 is 250,000, Catalonia live less than eight million people … how will the autonomous and national police control 250,000 people who like the radical message? We must bear in mind that Moroccans, Algerians … who come to Europe find many mosques paid by Saudi Arabia, with imams formed in the Wahhabi school … and also the uprooting and culture shock makes Muslims turn more radical. Islam is for Muslims living in Europe a form of nationalism, a way of reclaiming their culture and rejecting Western customs, traditions and laws. Of course you stay very short in your estimates, they are many more than that 15%. The curious thing is how easily manipulated Muslims are, it is unimaginable that a Christian priest could influence so much in a community. Churches and mosques are not equivalent, Islam is not just a religion and should no longer be considered as such in our Western laws. Islam is a destructive sect.

Wow, only a idiot believes the narrative spencer and the idiots are trying to spread. What they said the imam say was a total lie. actually watch the video. There is not call to jihad. the video speaks of how should a muslim defend themselves if they are not allowed to becauese they are not on equal ground with israeli occupation terrorists. am i theonly 1not afraid to call israel a occuation terrorisy nation? dont give me that 6day wa rbs ither. it doesnt give the occuiers there right to steal land or the resources. the occupiersare not “God”s ” chosen and to not support israel doesnt make “god” curse you either.. Go ahead and flame/troll or whatever else you want. you dont know me. you will not do anythin to me, but spew away.
